As part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival, I am launching a new online survey today, looking at the degree to which people indulge in the so-called seven deadly sins. It only takes a few minutes to take part, so please participate at www.sinnerorsaint.org and encourage your friends, colleagues and family to join in. Whether you are young or old, male or female, we need your sin!
Richard Wiseman
Quirky mind stuff
Now this one I am sure 100% is a test…..lol…..so you tell me am I a sinner or a saint…….hummmmm…… :}
Gulp, don’t want to know the results…
I have submitted
Oh hey, what time is it? Well the clock says it’s time to Obey Richard Wiseman, so I guess I’d better fill in this survey here. Whoop whoop!
do you want to know the results……sinner or saint….I may be a sinning saint……. :}
No such thing as sin
Perhaps you should follow this up with a similar study on how people rank themselves on the Seven Cardinal Virtues –
Justice
Prudence
Temperance
Fortitude
Faith
Hope
Charity
Very, very curious what the point of page three is. (I tend to think that the best way to change my feelings is to change my situation, location, or actions, not to just attempt the think differently.)
That’s the same I was thinking of
I change my feelings by smashing my face into or against something, and screaming a lot.
“Would you like us to email you your results?”
How about I email you?
waiting for results!!!!!!!!!!

no mail more spam?
Was page 3 supposed to have repeated/rephrased questions in it?
Alex in my other life when I was still able to work, I in the behavioral health and chemical dependency field and many of these surveys repeat the same question in a variety of ways.
Yeah I do survey work too as often many questions are rephrased. What is interesting is many people do not put the same answer for them.
It should have the option to tweet your results, that would be cool.
Didn’t like the survey answers. Agree/Undecided/Disagree didn’t seem to fit with the nature of the questions. Most were fact questions, not opinion questions, so they should have been more like Often/Rarely/Never.
suspect that the survey was about something else….
@Louise Varre: I agree…
will there be any result declaration
or you too are some kinda FAKE stufff..
When do the results come?
I did this on Tuesday and have heard nothing.
Does everyone else need to complete the quiz before my status can be worked out?
That would imply that being a saint or sinner is relative…
Cool study, wish I thought of it first.
I agree with above that a virtue study should follow.
I participated just for Richard, I dislike the very spirit of the test. Though I would have enjoyed the results; the email never arrived.
While I think the idea of the sin is absurd and derogatory; I’ve gone and filled it in for you.
Either way saints/sinners seem to be a mixed bag and equally in good/evil.

i’m not even going to take this stupid test. The bible is a cult, its threating that if you don’t think like it says you should that once you die your soul will be tortured for ever in hell. also god didn’t make the world, thats like saying magic is real and i can fire a bolt of lightning out of my ass. also we have fossiles as proof, your proof is a book. they make porn in book form, the bible is nothing but a book some crazy old man wrote in exile. pictures of jesus you say? just pictures of the ruler at the current time. If jesus is real and immortal then let him prove to me that he is real by showing his face to me. Or someone give me proof to if he is real other then writing and paintings. untell i get some scientific proof i think i’ll keep jacking off to pokemon and things.
Sinner or Saint… Isn’t there a happy meadian?
